Trump foreign policy

Or...the report's inaccurate.

 

I've heard it reported as a "Sarin gas attack," where "dozens of people choked to death."  That's not how Sarin works...

 

For awhile the liberal media talked of Sarin attack in the US, then it was used by a Japanese cult in their subway and showed what really happens.

Track the sequence of events and REALLY think about the logic of attacking now:

 

First: Trump announces the US is going to pull out of Syria last week,

Result: The media spins it as helping Putin and Assad as well as ISIS and Hezbollah (both of whom are no longer in Syria in a serious way btw)... crying out for more perma-war (that benefits whom exactly? Not Russia, not Assad, not Iran... but whom?).  

 

Now: Less than a week later - there's a chemical attack "by Assad" (or Putin depending on your news source) which will accomplish nothing more than public outcry for the US to stay in Syria by both sides of the political aisle.

Result: The same media is using this as cause to stay in Syria and escalate the conflict.  

 

HMMM...

Put yourself in Putin or Assad's shoes. What sense does launching a chemical attack NOW make? It doesn't gain territory, all it does is give the US an excuse to stay in the region.

 

The media made it clear for a week how pulling out benefits Putin and Assad and the Mullahs... so why would any of those elements risk forcing the US to course correct? Especially after Trump already responded with Tomahawks to the last chemical attack? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE - not because the enemy is stupid or impatient. They're neither. It doesn't make sense because the origin of the chemical attack comes from those who wish us to STAY in Syria.

 

Those who wish us to stay long enough to START AN ACTUAL SHOOTING WAR WITH RUSSIA, IRAN, AND ASSAD. 

 

Who are the forces with that goal?

 

It's not a nation state in the traditional sense. It's the elements within the IC (CIA) who have been pushing that agenda since 2014. The ones who backed the other candidate. The ones who have spent the past 12+ months being flushed from State and Langley. The ones who backed bin Talal. The ones who are LOSING. 

 

Think this through without partisanship. Do your own math and I guarantee you'll come to the same answer. This is a move devoid of logic unless the logic the media is trying to give is a lie.The strategy the MSM is pushing makes zero sense from Putin's, Assad's, or the Mullah's perspective. It makes no sense from ISIS or Hezbollah's perspective either.

 

The only people who benefit from a chemical attack now are the ones who wish the US to stay in the region. Those enemies are DOMESTIC, folks. Don't be fooled again.

It drives more people out of Syria, increasing the refugee problem which is the main issue propelling the reactionary success in Europe. Chaos in Syria is good for Putin in European politics

Russian and Iranian news services reported that two Israeli F-15 war planes carried out the strike, which a conflict monitor said killed 14 people. The Russian military said the planes had approached from the Mediterranean Sea before firing from Lebanese airspace. Syria’s air defense systems shot down five of the eight missiles fired, according to the Russian news agency Interfax.

The other three missiles hit a Syrian military base known as T4 that has played a central role in Iran’s expanding military activities in Syria.

 

 

I wonder if that's true

Lots of reports of heavy artillery and rocket fire now in three regions of Syria...

No civilian air traffic - it's all been diverted over Turkey and Syria...

 

But how many scoops of ice cream did Trump have tonight?

He demanded THREE scoops of ice cream, but relented and grudgingly settled on TWO scoops when Gen. Kelly threatened to resign.

Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!

 

Will find out how good Russian air defense is I guess.

They already know we're going to do something. They don't know when though and the anticipation has got to be killing them. Let them stay on high alert for a few days and practice changing their underwear.
